It doesn’t add up. Two Ryan Lanzas from Newton, Connecticut? Either the live Ryan Lanza is a hoax, or the mainstream media completely reported the wrong facts.

Given how the MSM doesn’t do any real reporting, it’s possible that they reported the wrong facts. Perhaps the shooter wasn’t Ryan Lanza at all?

There are only three Ryan Lanzas in the United States, and only one of them is from Newtown CT, so the Facebook page I posted belongs to that Ryan Lanza.

The other possibility is that the other Ryan Lanza from New Jersey was the shooter,and some journalists just assumed that the Ryan Lanza from Newtown must have been the perp when in fact it was a random act of violence perpetrated by the other Ryan Lanza, and coincidentally he shot the mother of the guy with the same name.

Shooter is NOT Ryan Lanza, but rather Ryan Lanza's younger brother. It makes sense that someone living in a SWPL place like Hoboken would NOT be a mass-murderer. I should have figured that out.

Rifleman on the other comment thread is right. You should really learn the diff. between beta males and omega males. Beta males are just a notch below alphas. They are actually high in the pecking order.

I wonder if little bro didn't have gay panic fears, amongst all his other failures real & perceived. Stats show that a significant portion of gay men are younger brothers.

Guy's 24 - just the age where schizophrenia begins to manifest. Mom lives in CT, dad in NJ - how long have they been divorced? He kills both mom and dad. Younger brother is in on it - enough that he doesn't do anything to stop it, and may have helped.

@Credo in Unum Deum: So you criticize people who are pro gun control because they will probably politicize the event and then you actually politicize the event for anti gun control purposes. Am I following your post correctly?

I couldn't agree more though. We definitely need to start training elementary schoolers in combat and stop selecting elementary teachers for stupid and useless traits like caring about and actually enjoying children and start hiring ex marine drill sargeants.

Beta male has a nice ring to it. Moreover it's people like you should learn the difference. Omega males are guys who can't even maintain jobs. Most shooters are not unemployed. Frequently they're "normal" but lack maybe in one or two areas of life. An omega is someone who's obese, unemployed, or with a long history of dysfunction. Rifleman and TUJ need to STFU.

jayne, don't be an asshole. The story has updated; at the time I read it, Ryan (24) had been identified as the shooter, and Adam (20) was being taken in for questioning. Getting those things backwards doesn't affect my point, and in fact, strengthens it. (Schiz may manifest as late as 24/25, but almost never later than 25. The fact that it was the 20-yo brother, not the 24-yo, makes undetected schiz *more* likely.)

Alpha males are top 20% of men, as defined by attractiveness -- whether physical, status, or personality -- to women. Beta males are the fat part of the bell curve -- 60% of men. Omega males are the bottom 20% who get little to no play from women. Your typical brony is an omega male.

There are gradations between these three major male archetypes. Get with the program people, this isn't rocket science.

Meanwhile, news is reporting that Adam Lanza has (had) a girlfriend. That would suggest a possible beta or greater beta male who was attractive to girls but had some mental disorder which caused him to snap, like the aurora CO shooter.

So which one of you decided to hide behind an anonymous facade to post this? If you can't even confront someone openly online how are you gonna handle the marauding NAM hordes? Alt-righters are nothing but talk that's why Obama won by a landslide despite the new wave of conservative blogging. Commentators here are like that SWPL Fox reporter who got punked by those unions guys. Mental masturbating GOP cowards.

The common thread is asperger's / mild autism. Beta Omega whatever whatever is all a by product of that. Aurora, Columbine, Virginia Tech, its the smart socially awkward guys. Word is Adam Lanza was a goth in school. Goth kids need to be beat up some more and made to behave.

continuing on the Goth issue - The entire concept of allowing kids to dress the way they want in schools is bizarre. dress them all in uniforms and righteously teach them that they arent there in school to express themselves and be unique little snowflakes who are entitled to everything. beta male rage will be solved overnight when they realize their own inferiority. rage happens when their internal sense of entitlement conflicts with the reality of the world. world cannot be changed, what can be changed is the internal sense of entitlement.

But this is also true of the online sex nerds in the manoshere/Game community. These guys seem to believe they were entitled to a Victoria's Secret supermodel when they turned 18, it never happened and now they are bitter about it.

The reason I keep pointing out the mislabeling of Omegas as Betas is because I think it is fundamental to the omega's false sense of entitlement that he be considered a beta and not actually an omega.

Most sex nerds online are clearly omegas in that they are not sociable, average provider men with healthy relationships.

Obviously they aren't alphas.

But they falsely put themselves in the beta category to further their sense of entitlement. By doing so it makes they more bitter about the difference between what they have and what they think they deserve.

Omegas have no right to everything they want. They are lucky society lets them live. They should me humble, like a beggar in India.

The people who should RAGE are the average beta husbands and fathers of the wives, girlfriends and children these evil omega nerds keep on killing!

People here continue to misunderstand Intelligence.
Lanza could be intelligent and psychotic at the same time. The condition don't always reduce the mental performance immediately when it show up.

If he had delusions of persecution, he could have accumulated weapons to defend himself. The same could be said of his mother (psychiatric conditions often are inherited).

The problem is not in his intelligence level but in his inability to feel emotion correctly, control them, criticize his own mental process and so on.

What could have probably cause the killing spree is the fact the mother allegedly started to ask authorities to forcibly treat his son for his psychiatric problems. She probably did it because the behavior of his son was out of any control (I would bet she was beaten by him more than one time).

He discovered her actions and acted out, killing her. Then, probably, he went to discharge all his rage and frustration on the second target of his hate: the school / classroom that kept his mother from him.

This is not so strange for symbiotic couples (usually mother/son or mother/daughter) when they are separated for some reason.
